Sustaining means for correcting and/or stabilizing injured or deficient vertebras of the human spine, in particular of the cervical vertebra region, comprises a plate made of deformable, body-compatible material to be attached anteriorly to at least a pair of adjacent vertebras. The plate has holes for receiving bone screws to be screwed in the vertebras and is formed, by weakening zones and/or by selecting the thickness and/or selecting the material, to match the contour of the vertebras. The weakening zones may consist of a plurality of preferably circular holes of diameter smaller than the diameter of the screw holes.

Dispositif d'appui servant à corriger et/ou stabiliser les vertèbres blessées ou fragilisées d'une colonne vertébrale humaine, notamment les vertèbres cervicales. Le dispositif est composé d'une plaque constituée d'un matériau déformable et compatible avec le corps humain, laquelle est destinée à être fixée sur la face antérieure d'au moins deux vertèbres adjacentes. La plaque présente des trous à vis pour ostéosynthèse, lesquelles sont vissées dans les vertèbres. Il est possible de modeler la plaque selon le contour des vertèbres en affaiblissant certaines zones de la plaque et/ou en sélectionnant des plaques de différentes épaisseurs et/ou de matériau différent. Les zones affaiblies peuvent être constituées de nombreux trous, de préférence circulaires, ayant un diamètre inférieur à celui des trous à vis.
